Toccata by Bach

[pilotoatomico]

another fail. No one can play bach anymore damn.

[DecadentHero1]

Excellent playing, I like your version a lot!

Maybe with a bit less distortion it should sound even better (more clear and ariculate) but that' s great anyway.

My compliments.

[TheWood005]

Cool as shit!

[eylulguler]

edwarddd playing bach löl

[xXSUPEReduardoXx]

[taarna96]

[Jonsk12394]

[MrChuckDouglas]

That's pretty cool. I recently posted a variation of the same song by the Maestro Alex Gregory. Check it out too. Its called Toccata And Fury

[TheLimpCottonToeBook]

Bitchin Guitar

[TheNaturalPurpose]

i'm sure you spunked a few times while you where playing that

[mendelbot]

I think it would sound better with slightly less distortion, but its super sick!

[TheSkyIsTheLimit7150]

this is so frikin awsome! good stuff man :)

[BAVKT]

J'adore le son dla gratte et le solo en taping !!

[SRVJemExperience]

This dude is badass!

[samdufc]

[g0vinda54]

F'ing genius

[Eranzech]

OO SHIT , THAT WAS FEAKIN' AWESOME :O

[mytrap55]

that was the most awesome classic interpretation of toccata ever spawned! bravo! bravo! lmao

[dariusman1]

man, this is great ;)

[lance22me]

Wasn't Toccata but I sure enjoyed it.

[stewartwadehines]

friggin' aweeeeesssoome. dude.

Too bad there is no MP3 this would be great at our Haunted Corn Maze.

[scotialous21]

you should rock the Tempest. totally fits you dude. sweet original cover too

[Falconclaws]

freakin' sweet dude :P

what colour is it on your PRS?

Whale Blue? mayby..???

[Nickstermc]

It's turquoise. PRS discontinued the colour a few years ago.

[ernestorock91]

hey man....great cover..i liked the distortion what pedal are you playing????????

[Nickstermc]

Hi, It's done through a Roland VGA-5 combo. I added a lower octave harmony post production mixed in about 30%.

[dontwontusername]

Awesome

[BAVKT]

gg ^^you had the tab please ????

[angelo1962]

Fuck Bach purists! He'd jump up from his grave with joy if he could hear this tribute. Bach revolucionized the hole musical structure, he was creative and innovative. He'd sure approve of it. I love Bach and I love guitar (well played, that is)

[lardmonk]

just like your revolutionized spelling

[angelo1962]

I can´t take care of every detail in all 6 languages I speak - and write. Sorry to disappoint you.

[kooliofool]

PRS guitars are fucking amazing

[metalhead00xx]

Nice. Are you using a harmonizer pedal?

[adyingbreed126]

I recorded 2:09 - 2:36 on my phone for my alarm clock. Gor-fucking-geous sir.

[parquar]

that's the part that doesn't seem to have much resemblance to the original, which is a shame since this guy seems technically capable. He should do an extended full version

[vernadoon]

dude where was the fugue in that

the tapping in the end was just improvisation

nice piece though

[XxIbanezGuitaristxX]

sexy guitar, i love Paul Reeds!

[najbar83]

oh myyyyyyyyyy goooooooooodddddd!!!!!!!!fanat­stic fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!bravissim­o!!!!!!

[branda0]

[jamimiah0o]

[katzenrubbl0r]

I'd sell my grandmother for your gear :p

[TSchwarzendorfer]

granny is the best...you cannot sell her!

greetings

[katzenrubbl0r]

You obviously do not know my grandmother.

[TSchwarzendorfer]

[Nickstermc]

[nitsujsamourai]

[g0vinda54]

the pick sweep at 1.59 and then the seemless transition to tapping, amazing just amazing.

the most technially gifted guitarist ive seen for ages

[KellerDude4]

@g0vinda54 LOLWUT??

[p0nette]

god i love this song, the organ version i know it by heart. what a great rendition!! such strength in your playing... 01'30 is my favorite moment. much love from france xx s0phie

[LordLayAlotTK]

What effect are you using? or what pedal?

[fredericchopin1492]

AWESOME !

[azrn10123456]

god

[meaning1]

What an amazing tone, I have always wanted a PRS. Is it a custom 22 or 24? Or maybe neither haha...Also how long have you been playing?

[tsuei05]

That's a Custom 24

[joesatriani2006]

you forgot the glasses Harry!

[doublearejazz]

to nosey1579:

i agree

:-)

[mukkezz]

damn what a tone

[Brother2314]

Great, I love hearing it. What a diffrent song after all, what I've seen. At least sth unusual!

[nosey1579]

Please please do some more of this type of improv. Cant stop listening to it.

[Tagnar]

U own mate. Master's live level. 0 mistakes with freaky impossible speed :) And u make it without effort.

10/10 technique

10/10 song

Teach me :D ^^

[ytsuge]

Why did you modify that song? It was fine the way it was!

[Tagnar]

Compared to this song, original Toccata is just "fine".

[gspahr]

That's so short minded of you!

[Evetsocrates]

I really like the arrangement of yours, check out mine.

[rockinoxidable]

que virtuoso man

[doublearejazz]

lol - not bad ..

:-) !

..you wonna see how to realy improvise bachs music

look for vid : "bach sarabande jazz guitar" ..

:-)

[nosey1579]

Nickstermc is a totally different improv. You cant compare them, they are both brilliant in their own right.

[dimebag4550]

wow, thats some of the gayest stuff ive heard someone say

[guitarmaniac705]

I see that you´ve trained your skills and your felling pretty well.

Respect from a guitarist.

[jhanes313]

holy shit. rock dood... i hope to play that way someday :)

[blondierach89]

ok you are so hot!

[legallybrunnette]

wow amazin

[GRISHNAKHTKD]

Excelente!!!! muy buena version y... nada, envidia total por no poder tocar la guitarra de esa manera, tan buena, y tan relajada, Awesome,.

[LittleFinger999]

awesome! you're a master dude!

[master09shredder]

What effects did you use here? The sound is HUGE, makes it sound kinda like an organ or something.

[Nickstermc]

Distortion, amp modelling and EQ all from the Roland VGA-5 combo. Lower octave pitch shift harmony added after the amp mixed in about 30% wet 70% dry

[xlaym]

leave out the distortion, the echo effect is cool enough!

[PhilippeDegois]

C'est géniale :D super ^^ very good ^^

[dstack]

santana guitar?

[Hringriin]

nice, but your effects sometimes destroyes the very well played song!

Regards

[Necroscatophile]

While you didn't play my personal favorite part of the song, I loved what you have here. So far your rendition of the song is way better than any others I have found so far. If you haven't already, you should definitely nail the fugue part of the song. I'd love to hear it.

[Zaldun]

Incredible,your effects sounds really cool ,and your PRS too;)

[johanhackman]

Great playing, dude! I also play a PRS.

Johan Hackman

Sweden

[etoff86]

Hey man awesome playing, interesting take on an overplayed classical staple. It is only the Toccata though, when we gonna get the Fugue? ;)

Oh I know this has been asked before but what effects setup have you got going? That's some monster distortion

[Makachu]

wow your really good

[bigred1157]

what kind of amp and pedal setup are you using? The sound is awsome. I have been looking at PRS guitars, whats your opinion on them?

[MJCPeters]

Great song to seperate the men from the boys!

Well Done

[broony1981]

Awesome stuff nicky!!

[fataldisas]

keep on rocking 5stars ftw

[Nephrotonikum]

yeah you rock.... great G-forcing .... it blowing on the wall... sorry my bad english playwell c u soon

[hryniu]

hello do you use any harmonizer while playing it?

[Nickstermc]

Yep. There is a lower octave harmony effect mixed in at about 30%

[bigcmacd]

Absolutely awesome Nicky. Stuart told me you had a new clip on bebo so I tried to access it there but for some reason I couldn't, had to track you down here, that was brilliant. What a sound! I've subscribed to your vids so I look forward to more excellent riffage! Calum

[homer3j]

that was amazing man.

[Tankiller9]

Yeah fuckin' soudn guys ! I like it !

Your PRS is beautiful !

bonne continuation !
